To be seen.

Sud Solidaires says they're not planning a transportation strike, so if there is one it's bottom up not top down.

I don't think you appreciate what strikes look like in France.

Aug 15th Truckers will be going on strike nation wide

Good. They should have done this months ago.

It conflates things such as perversion, sexual attraction, and sex appeal with sexism

I don't think it's actually necessary to ban it when the underlying concept is so patently ridiculous and trivially defeated compared to say critical theory.

It's not men that police attraction and appeal among women. It's women that do that in their arms race to attract men.

A sack full of supposition is worth a sack.

I prefer to assess by that I see. And what I see of AoV is that he's a tiny being who's biggest thing in his life is being moderately well known on one biggish group on the interwebs. Whether he does it wearing a kippah, fez, a fursuit, or the fucking minish cap is irrelevant to me.

No I consider him a Mossad account that is actually multiple people

Well, then you haven't had a long running bicker with him over the course of years.

I assure you, that AoV is a single fucking idiot who somehow lucked into being mod and cares more about his seat than principles.

It's literally the only shit he has in his worthless miserable life and I'd pity him if I didn't despise him for being an impediment.

AoV, you were literally kicked off that site and you crawl back to it?

It's Communism and it works brilliantly for a very specific reason

And the reason is: they're bugs.

The term master bedroom actually only dates back to the 1970's (or the very largest catalog houses of the 60's).

Okay so... residential architecture is sort of a hobby of mine. I've got a couple bookshelves full of historical plans dating back to Geo Barber, Sears, Gordon Van Tine, Shoppell's, etc.

So, standardized residential architecture became a thing in the 1800's with the advent of steam powered lumber mills. In Victorian and Queen Anne era plans, firstly, the vernacular was different. Bedrooms were called chambers, and while there was OCCASIONALLY a principal chamber, in most house designs the main distinction was between chambers for family, and (in larger houses) the maid's room (typically just one in the sorts of designs that made it into design books).

In the war-era designs, houses were frankly pretty damn small and there tended to be only one bathroom. One bathroom had been the norm basically since internal plumbing, and typically stacked over the kitchen to concentrate everything in one wet wall. It wasn't until the late 50's ranch and the 60's split ranch that you really consistently started seeing houses with a second bath, as architects finally acknowledged that people were starting to do home remodeling projects and might actually need more than one.

You didn't really see the master suite concept appear until the 1970's, or the largest ranches of the 60's. But not a lot of houses were built in the 70's due to economic problems, and those that were built tended to be split-foyer-garage type. When housing construction picked back up in the late 80's, the McMansions appeared. In the McMansion, the master suite was a main feature.

If American and Southwest are going against then it'll be interesting to see if United is able to stand with their position.

All three of them are TWU shops. Either the union isn't taking a strong position, or United was hoping for solidarity that didn't materialize.

We'll see.

I'm tempted to start now

I always get the shakes before a drop. I've had the injections, of course, and hypnotic preparation, and it stands to reason that I can't really be afraid. The ship's psychiatrist has checked my brain waves and asked me silly questions while I was asleep and tells me that it isn't fear, it isn't anything important - it's just the trembling of an eager race horse in the starting gate. I couldn't say about that, I've never been a race horse. But the fact is: I'm scared silly, every time.
